In today’s market, public relations agencies are powerhouses that offer a wide-ranging suite of services designed to elevate a brand a propel it to the next level. At Fort Lauderdale and Aspen-based public relations agency Durée & Company, we go far beyond simply securing media placements. We become an extension of the team, providing guidance and methods of execution across many areas of a company’s needs.
Here are things a brand should consider when they’re looking to hire a full-service PR agency.
- Social media writing and management
While it may not be the first reason a company contacts a public relations agency, public relations and social media go hand-in-hand and are integral parts of a brand’s narrative. Publicists are social media ninjas, crafting content that resonates with the target audience. The public relations professional can help a company refine its messaging on social media, ensure consistency across all platforms, come up with a social media content calendar, and stay on top of trending topics the brand should try to capitalize on in a timely manner.
Remember, many journalists and media professionals are on social media often. It’s where they look for story ideas, trends, and information about brands and influencers. A public relations company that runs a brand’s social media can be proactive about messaging, management, comments from customers across all sites, and crisis management if it arises. Oftentimes, a well maintained and constant presence on social media can engage the audience and spark conversations that will ultimately boost brand awareness.

- Manage relationships between influencers and the brand
Influencers are a powerful force in today’s media landscape. Whether a brand is curious about influencer partnerships and needs their publicist to explain how it works or, wants the public relations team to send them ideas of potential influencers to work with, there are a lot of services the PR company can help the company within this area. At Durée & Company, we believe that it’s important to integrate influencers into an effective PR strategy.
After suggesting initial influencers, coming up with partnership ideas, and assisting with contracts for the collaboration, the PR pro can also suggest copy for the influencer to post. They can help write video scripts for TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube that incorporate the brand’s messaging, as well as monitor the analytics and provide feedback. Public relations professionals can use their relationship-building skills to enhance a brand’s digital presence on social media by leveraging influencers and getting the brand in front of new audiences.
- Analyzing campaigns, from content to social media

The insights also allow us to make actionable recommendations to improve the overall public relations strategy moving forward.
